>From a recent post sent by M. Pugliese:

"1.5 million killed during the Soviet-Afghan War from '79 -'89 according to Ahmed Rashid in his book on the Taliban. Larry Goodson in, 'Afghanistan's Endless War, ' says nearly 2 million. Plus the Soviets laid down nearly 30 million landmines, unmarked and unmapped."
